21 Best Faux Leather Leggings In 2021 For Every Budget And Style - Women's Health

Courtesy

As a '90s kid, I grew up worshipping faux leather clothing on MTV. Now, it's making a comeback. Featured in everything from dresses to jackets, skirts, joggers, and even bathing suits, there's nothing like some sexy faux leather to upgrade any look without compromising comfort—especially when it comes to leggings.

I'm constantly reaching for my leather leggings when I'm going out with friends or on a date that I want to look good for without the feeling of actually having to wear pants. They have a cool, trendy look to them that looks like I put way more effort into my appearance than I did when really my priority was comfort. Sure, you can undo the top button of your pants at dinner after an especially large meal (no judgement!), but for times that's not an option, leather leggings are a must.

The good thing about faux leather leggings now versus the '90s is that fashion designers have grown leaps and bounds away from the sticky, uncomfortable, rash-inducing leather of the past. Now, even athletic wear brands are making sweat-wicking, extra stretchy leggings ($80, Amazon) for sexy workout gear. If that's not your thing, high-fashion brands are also making edgy designs in a rainbow coalition of shade offerings. Some even offer fleece-lined leather leggings you'll love wearing to holiday parties.

See below for the 21 best faux leather leggings for your sexiest, comfiest wardrobe yet—no matter your style or budget.
